Declined by admin
Aleksandr, your template removes the 'Stockholm' part together with the date. Please consider resubmitting the issue when you have a more complete solution.

Thanks for the advice, I believe this is optional. I'll update this after the contest ends.

There is external social media link which should be removed from an article. But author decided turn it into embed and insert it into the article. So if original article doesn't have embed then you shouldn't create it. Also it is confusing when you see a word "link" at the bottom but instead of link you see embed which is unavailable.

The IV supports social media embeds, why not use it? I'm sure our Telegram engineers have spent a lot of time and resources in developing them.

The video is an essential part of the article. Template #5 removes the block completely with the link so it can't be considered as a better solution.
Template #4 Issue #3
Jun 17, 2017
Author decided remove duplicate date (see other pages in this template), what might be a good idea. But actually it could be hard to support all possible formatting issues which could arise in a future. Here is the one of possible cases which isn't supported. I think better to leave it as it is in original source.

Hmm.. will have to update the regexp rules to match this case. This website does not present place and date in a consistent way.
Declined by admin
There's no template that handles the case better.
Template #4 Issue #4
Jun 17, 2017
Author taking an author's name from alt attribute of nonexisting image. It isn't good practice what cause of displaying author's name in uppercase in current case (but also could be more seriouse issue when you lose author's name when alt attribute isn't set). Also as said in clarifications - what the user sees when viewing the original article in an ordinary browser has priority over invisible meta-information.

The issue raised was wrong. I did not add any content on my own. Everything the user sees in the generated IV is from the original. Using data from alt attributes does not mean any external content was added.

The written template has backup rules to cater for cases where no alt attribute is set.

Unfortunately the author's solution leads to problems with pages like this: http://www.therakyatpost.com/?p=284561. Template #5 handles these cases better.
Template #4 Issue #5

Here you are. Template missing article's author.

TRP means The Rakyat Post. It is not the name of an individual. I believe, the following rules apply:

It is possible to omit the name when there‘s no identifiable person, only the website’s ‘team’, ‘editors’, etc.
Accepted by admin
It's possible to omit the author if it's not mentioned as an actual person. But the author's approach leads to more critical issues on pages like this: http://www.therakyatpost.com/?p=284561
